B. Sequence of Operation KM-1301SAH-E utilizes a thermostatic bin control. For KM-1301SAH-E operation, the K4 jumper (4A4883G01) must be in place on the control board RED K4 connector or the unit will not operate. 1. Sequence Cycles and Shutdown The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, CB red "POWER OK" LED and green "BC CLOSED" LED come on. If red "POWER OK" LED is off on KM-1301SAH-E, clear ice away from the thermostatic bin control bulb in the storage bin area. If yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on, the unit will not start. In this case...
c) Freeze Cycle LED 1 is on. Comp and FMR remain energized, PM energizes or remains energized depending on harvest pump timer (S4 dip switch 7) setting. FM and LLV energize. HGV and X1 relay (auxiliary code T-0, U-0), X10 relay (auxiliary code U-1 and later) de-energize.
Page 16
(2) Mechanical Bin Control (KM-1301SWH-E, KM-1301SRH-E) When mechanical BC is activated (BC open), the yellow "BC OPEN" LED comes on. The unit then shuts down as outlined in the table below. Cycle at Shutdown Mechanical Bin Control Activation Fill Cycle 15 seconds after activation. Harvest Cycle At the end of the harvest cycle, or up to 15 seconds into the freeze cycle if activated at the end of the harvest cycle.
C. Control Board • A Hoshizaki exclusive solid-state control board is employed in Hoshizaki Stackable Crescent Cubers. • All models are pretested and factory set. 1. The control board is fragile; handle very carefully. 2. The control board contains integrated circuits, which are susceptible to failure due to static discharge.
1. Control Board Layout • Bin Control Switch • "ALARM RESET" Button Closed LED (green) (on continuously in thermostatic bin control application) • Bin Control Switch Open LED (yellow) (mechanical bin control application only) • Part Number • Alarm Buzzer •...
a) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties At startup, a 5-second delay occurs while the control board conducts an internal timer check. A beep occurs when the control switch is moved to the "ICE" position. The red LED indicates proper control voltage and remains on unless a control voltage problem occurs. The green LEDs 1 through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the table below.
However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in cases where the flush provided at harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning. Before changing this setting, contact Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest timer to a longer setting decreases 24-hour production.
c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) Do not adjust S4 dip switch 3 off and S4 dip switch 4 on for this model. Otherwise, pump motor does not rotate in the pump-out direction. When a pump-out is called for, the pump motor stops after the preceding freeze cycle. The pump motor restarts 2 seconds later in the reverse direction, taking water from the bottom of the tank and forcing pressure against the check valve seat allowing water to go through the check valve and down the drain.
After 2 consecutive freeze timer terminations, the control board shuts down the icemaker. In this case, see "IV.G.3. Low Ice Production" for possible solutions. The freeze timer is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. Before changing this setting, contact Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. CAUTION S4 Dip Switch Setting...
h) Float Switch Control (S5 dip switch 1) Do not adjust. This must be left in the factory default position or the unit will not operate correctly. Factory set. S5 dip switch 1 allows for single or double float switch applications. The KM-1301SAH-E, KM1301SWH-E, and KM-1301SRH-E use a single float switch.

an inoperative Comp, or an inoperative HM. If the unit switches out of freeze with F/S connector removed, but would previously not switch out of freeze with F/S connected (long freeze - 3 beep alarm), F/S may be sticking. To check and clean F/S, see "IV.D. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." If the unit remains in freeze longer than 15 seconds after disconnecting black F/S connector, replace CB. Note: Normal freeze cycle will last 20 to 40 minutes depending on model and conditions.

8) Shutdown a) Thermostatic Bin Control: KM-1301SAH-E When the unit is running hold ice in contact with the thermostatic bulb, the thermostatic BC switch opens within 10 seconds, shutting down the unit (CB red "POWER OK" LED is off). The bin control is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However, adjustment may be needed in some conditions, particularly at higher altitude locations.
B. Control Board Check Before replacing a control board that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Alarm Reset: If the control board is in alarm (beeping), press the "ALARM RESET" button on the control board while the control board is beeping. WARNING! Risk of electric shock.
C. Bin Control Check 1. Thermostatic Bin Control Check: KM-1301SAH-E To check the thermostatic bin control, follow the steps below. When the ambient temperature is below 45°F (7°C), the thermostatic bin control switch opens and shuts down the icemaker even if the ice storage bin is empty.

7) Press the actuator paddle, check for continuity across the wires of the red connector. When the actuator paddle is engaged, the mechanical bin control switch is open. If closed, check that the actuator paddle is not restricted. Clean if necessary. See "IV.C.2.b) Mechanical Bin Control Cleaning." If the mechanical bin control switch still reads closed, replace the mechanical bin control.
5) Remove the actuator paddle from the switch mount. See Fig. 2. 6) Wipe down the mechanical bin control assembly with a mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water. Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water. 7) Reassemble the mechanical bin control assembly and replace it in its correct position.
D. Float Switch Check and Cleaning The float switch is used to determine that there is sufficient water in the tank after the 1-minute fill cycle and after each harvest cycle. The float switch is also used to determine that the appropriate volume of water has been converted into ice before switching out of the freeze cycle.
Be careful not to bend the retainer rod excessively when removing it. 7) Wipe down the float switch assembly's housing, shaft, float, and retainer rod with a mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water. Clean the inside of the rubber boot and hose with cleaning solution. Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water.
E. Thermistor Check To check thermistor resistance, follow the steps below. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the front panel, then move the control switch to the "OFF" position. 3) Remove the control box cover. 4) Remove the thermistor. 5) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 or 3 minutes.
G. Diagnostic Charts Before consulting the diagnostic charts, check for correct installation, proper voltage per unit nameplate, and adequate water supply. Check CB using the steps in "IV.B. Control Board Check." Check the dip switch settings to assure that S4 dip switch 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, & 10 and S5 dip switch 1 through 5 are in the factory default position. S4 dip switch 1, 2, 5, & 6 are cleaning adjustments and the settings are flexible. For factory default settings, see "II.C.3.a) Default Dip Switch Settings."...
